How Reno and Rude decks play in EDH

Sacrifice is built into the card, which pairs it with cheap recursive creatures and payoffs that trigger when something dies. The payoff is combat damage, so evasion and extra-combat effects matter more than raw power. The cards below are the ones Reno and Rude decks actually play most often, grouped by the job they do.
